Graffiti vandals make Madonna ‘weep’ in poster

Vandals have sabotaged an enormous poster featuring Madonna by appearing to make her weep.

They targeted the 250 sq ft image advertising her new range for fashion store H&M by daubing the poster with green paint.

The culprits climbed the scaffolding to which the mesh advertising banner was attached, cut a hole in one of the eyes and poured paint through.

The poster, featuring two images of the 48-year-old superstar, is being replaced today at a cost of around £6,000.

The attack, near Old Street roundabout in Shoreditch, is believed to have taken place on Monday night or early on Tuesday.

Nobody has owned up yet, but Madonna has recently been criticised by anti-fur campaigners for wearing a coat made of chinchilla skins.
